Texas USA Gymnastics Updates

Congratulations Nastia for your Induction to the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame.

This weekend we awarded Barbara Hughes on her decades of service to Texas USAG. Barbara was elected as District 6 Representative in the Summer of 1993 and served for 21 years winning 10 elections. She spent her weekends judging competitions from 1979 to 2014, a total of 35 years. Many of the gymnasts that Barbara Judged in the 80s and 90s now have children of their own that have been judged by Barbara. If you were unable to attend but your or your club would like to send her a card you can send it to her home address: 2608 Leroy St, Pearland, TX 77581.

"Congratulations to Josephine Whitney for having her new skill named after her at the NIT - JO National competition. It is a beam mount, which is a switch leg leap landing in a full split" Josephine trains at National Elite Gymnastics. Great job Josephine!

The Level 6 Leotard color is Radiant Royal Sparkle.

Level 7 will not receive a leotard, since there is a Regional Championship and Level 7 State Meet is not the culminating meet for the level 7's.
